The Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Monday, arraigned one Jules Suinner before Justice
Babs Kuewumi of the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos on a three-count
charge bordering on conspiracy to obtain money by false pretence to the tune of
N37million.
Suinner, together with his
cohort, allegedly hijacked the email address and letterhead of a company named
Greenview Development Nigeria Limited and wrote a letter to Access Bank Plc to
transfer N25, 000,000 to the account of ICT Aid Foundation Cooperative Society
domiciled with United Bank for Africa, UBA.
The money was allegedly
transferred on July 14.
Also, the suspected
fraudsters, on July 22, allegedly wrote to Access Bank to transfer of the sum
of N12, 000,000 (Twelve Million Naira)| to the account of one Tee-EM Nigeria
Limited domiciled with UBA.
One of the charges reads:
“That you, Jules Suinner,
on or about the 13th day of July 2015, in Abuja, within the jurisdiction of
this Honourable Court, with intent to obtain money under false pretence,
conspired with ICT Aid Foundation Cooperative Society (still at large) and
others (still at large) to fraudulently impersonate officials of Greenview
Development Nigeria Limited.”
The suspect pleaded not
guilty to the charges when they were read to him.
Justice Kuewumi ordered the
suspect to be remanded in prison custody and adjourned to September 14, 2016
for commencement of trial.
